S3 boards?

Is this true?

I know there was a problem with Mach32 and Mach64 boards incorrectly
listening to I/O's on some ports before being put into a mode where
listening was mandatory (it's a bug in the chipset).

I didn't think S3 had the same problem... I run nothing but S3 cards,
and I haven't seen the problem on any of my machines...
